[Reader-list] Election Forecast

[Vedavati Jogi]

you are making a mistake here. 
 
bjp  scored well in states ruled by them.
but as they did not try to expand their base in last 5 years.  they have got what they deserved in 2009. this election should prove to be an eye opener for them.
 
people have not 'rejected' them, people have rejected left parties, lalu, mayavati, paswan, jaylalita etc etc. 
 
bjp was banking on 'others' while congress did 'ekala chalo re' , people have voted for largest party which can give them stable govt.  people are the real kingmakers and not these people mentioned above.
 
congress has given new young faces while bjp has  presented same faces -no new young leader except varun gandhi.
 
bjp has talked about old issues like ram mandir for which they have already lost their credibility.
 
 bjp projected itself as 'congress no. 2' and not the 'party with the difference'.  people did not select no2 when no. 1 was available.
 
and last but not least, bjp did not try to 'unify' hindus. if they do so in coming 5 years' span, they will definitely bounce back in 2014.

Dear all

The BJP and the Left have been shown the middle finger in these elections.
And for all those in the forum who keep dismissing the Congress, do dismiss
dynastic politics, but realize that NREGA, RTI and Right to Forest Land for
tribals are important for the 'aam aadmi', so also other issues of
livelihood, not your Golden Quadrilateral, economic disinvestment and
Narendra Modi-Advani duo's 'strong leadership'.

Concentrate on that. Otherwise keep seeing the middle finger shown by the
rest of India to you too.

Regards

Rakesh
